ANNOUNCEMENTS

3DYouth Group heads out to Harrisburg for the 2013 Missions Trip on Sunday, August 4th.  The vans will be leaving from here at 12:00 noon.  Be praying for our team as it seeks to serve, learn, and grow in Christian discipleship.  They will be returning on Friday, August 9th.

Check out “Ask the Pastor” on Friday, July 26th at 2:00 pm (TCT Network and Dish Network Channel 26, DirecTV does not carry the program), as Derek tries to make good use of this special opportunity.  “Ask the Pastor” is a live call-in program with a panel of five area pastors answering viewer questions about life and the Bible from the Bible.

As we move into a season of family travel and light attendance, be praying for the church’s continued financial stability during these challenging months.


CALENDAR

Thank you to our hosts, Olive and Don Hill, for a beautiful place

to worship our Lord and fellowship with one another at our annual picnic today.
